Secondary School Cover Supervisor

Exciting Opportunity: Experienced Secondary School Cover Supervisors Needed for Immediate Start in Huddersfield

Location: Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
Job Type: Supply/Temporary
Start Date: Now

About Us:
At Stafflex Education, we pride ourselves on connecting talented and motivated education professionals with schools across West Yorkshire. As we prepare for the 2025 summer term, we are seeking resilient and proactive Cover Supervisors to join our team. If you have excellent classroom behaviour management skills, thrive in a dynamic environment, and are capable of leading a classroom in the absence of the regular teacher, we want to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to make a real impact in students' lives while working in a supportive and flexible environment.

What You'll Be Doing:
As a Cover Supervisor, you will be the sole adult in the classroom, responsible for managing the students and ensuring they stay engaged with pre-set lesson plans. You will supervise a range of subjects across the secondary school curriculum, with a strong emphasis on maintaining a positive learning environment, even when faced with challenging situations. Strong behaviour management skills are essential, as you will often be expected to manage difficult situations independently.

Key aspects of your role include:

• Leading classes across a range of subjects, ensuring students remain engaged with the pre-set lesson plans.
• Implementing strong and effective classroom behaviour management strategies to maintain order and engagement.
• Creating a positive and productive classroom environment, even when you are the only adult in the room.
• Ensuring the smooth running of the lesson and managing student progress in the teacher's absence.
• Using school IT systems for registering attendance, completing lesson notes, and tracking students' progress.

What We Offer:

• Flexible Work: Choose assignments that suit your availability, with roles across secondary schools in Huddersfield and surrounding areas.
• Competitive Pay: Attractive rates of pay that reflect your experience and the responsibilities of the role.
• Ongoing Support: Continuous support from our experienced team, who are always available to assist you throughout your assignments.
• Varied Experience: Build your classroom management skills and gain valuable experience working in different school settings, enhancing your career development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supervise and manage secondary school classrooms, ensuring a positive and productive learning environment in the teacher's absence.
• Deliver pre-set lesson plans and ensure students stay on task and engaged.
• Apply strong and effective behaviour management techniques to maintain order and engagement.
• Adapt quickly to each school's unique classroom dynamics and provide feedback to the school on progress and behavioural challenges.
• Ensure punctuality and the ability to arrive at schools in time for the start of lessons.

Who We're Looking For:

• Proven experience in classroom management and a strong ability to engage and control students, even in challenging situations.
• Excellent behaviour management skills, with the resilience and confidence to lead a class as the only adult in the room.
• Familiarity with using school IT systems for attendance, lesson notes, and progress tracking.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to maintain a positive and productive classroom atmosphere.
• Ability to arrive at schools on time, with reliable transportation to get to schools in Huddersfield.
• A valid DBS check (or willingness to obtain one).
